A work of theological and literary scholarship, this study presents a rigorous and reverent examination of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's mystical poem The Eternal Feminine, situating it within the broader context of Christian thought and Teilhard's evolving spiritual vision. Henri de Lubac, one of the twentieth century's most distinguished Catholic theologians, argues that the poem is far more than a lyrical curiosity — it is a foundational key to understanding Teilhard's entire philosophical and theological project. With characteristic intellectual precision and spiritual depth, de Lubac traces the figure of the Eternal Feminine as Teilhard conceived her: a cosmic, Sophia-like presence who draws all of creation upward toward the divine. The tone is both contemplative and scholarly, balancing close textual analysis with sweeping theological reflection, making it an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand the mystical dimensions of Teilhard de Chardin's thought. Readers already acquainted with either Teilhard's writings or de Lubac's theological method will find this a richly rewarding and illuminating companion text.
